The Sharee‘ah does not prevent killing flies
It is a hobby of mine to hunt flies in the air by beating them with a small piece of wood. Is this impermissible because it hurts the flies? Thank you.

It is known that flies are a major reason for the transmission of diseases; rather, they are one of the most harmful types of insects. Given their harm, it is permissible under Sharee‘ah to kill flies in order to avoid harm. It is narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: " It is clear that immersing is more severe than beating when killing, yet the Sharee‘ah did not prevent it. Nevertheless, we advise you to utilize your time to do what is beneficial for you in the two worlds, instead of wasting it in hunting flies.
